At the start of the collegiate semester, Linda Jennings delivered scholarship checks to two of our 2025–26 recipients. Jenna Shipley is working toward a Master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition, and Mackenzie Davis is pursuing a doctorate in Occupational Therapy. Jenna and Mackenzie, along with Brooke Miller, were awarded $1,000 scholarships last June, with $500 distributed each semester.
